To be honest it also makes our life as the organising team much easier. Wet tents, soaking clothing and drenched equipment always exacerbates the challenge of delivering an event, not to mention extending the post event clean-dry-sort into weeks after the wettest weekends away.

Our regular participants will have noticed that we have tinkered with the courses a little. We wanted to move away from a course defined rigidly by the 10 highest peaks, to a course that was defined by 10 excellent peaks, whilst keeping the soul of the established courses. It is a tricky balance. We think this has improved the runablity and the overall experience of the mountain journey, and it also gives us the potential to expand the event concept to other areas more easily (Anyone for the 10 highest peaks in Scotland… in 24-hours? I thought not!). Whilst not scientific the overall sense we got from participants was that they loved the refined courses this year.

10Peaks The Lakes™ encounters some varied terrain including these rocky sections – all the more enjoyable!

“Huge thank you for a fantastic event! I had a wonderful day in the fells.” – 2018 participant
We’re glad to hear it and we enjoyed the event so much, we asked Steve Ashworth if he wouldn’t mind creating a video wrap-up of proceedings – spot anyone you know?
